MSI hinges
Hi all,
A year ago my MSI did a typical MSI thing: one of the hinge got stuck. I unstucked it with some tutorials, but impossible to do anything else than 'putting' the hinge down, so that one side of my computer was only supported by the plastic part. Now it's the second hinge that let me down-too much pressure. MSI says minimum 400 euros, which I don't feel like paying. My MSI is already 3 years old, and I'm seriously doubting he'll survive much more than a year or two.
Now the screen only stands if supported by books behind, some kind of support. It's OK but not great since I can't work elsewhere than at home with this set-up. I feel that I need to be creative. I thought about trees, and these 'stakes' for trees when a tree is sick and need support. Would such thing exist for a computer screen? Would you build it? How?
Thanks for your answers! Pictures of the hinges are in the link in red, first thing at the head of the article.
